Another day brings with it another complaint from celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti about how the media’s handling stories about him:
New journalism standard – as long as you say “according to TMZ” in your piece, you are good. No need to confirm or do any other reporting. No need for real sources or to seek comment. Just regurgitate whatever TMZ posts. Because it’s all about the “clicks”…

Suffice to say, irony spotters are having a field day:
pretty amazing how people can repeat things without corroboration and even in defiance of evidence https://t.co/RussPQA58L

Amazing, right?
Interesting remark coming from the guy who pushed the baseless Julie Swetnick gang rape story. https://t.co/pNd8tfaS5v

Remember when Michael Avenatti made wild, uncorroborated accusations about Kavanaugh gang raping and did it all on https://t.co/ZRi7uY4plM where he wanted people to take them seriously? https://t.co/e7kqgj84bp

The best part of this guy is that nobody on the left sees the hypocrisy. https://t.co/RglKTdEL5T

Is @MichaelAvenatti lecturing to us about "standards?"
